Searching across multiple devices?

How do I search over numerous devices on a system which is clustered for a
specific file in such a way that I don't have to search each device one at a
time, naming them.

The Answer is :

Define a search list representing a group of disks. For example:
$ DEFINE ALL_DISKS DKA100:,DKA200:,DKA300:
$ DIR ALL_DISKS:[000000...]SPECIFIC_FILE.DAT
Logical names can be defined at system startup time in SYLOGICALS.COM and
placed in the SYSTEM table to make them visible to all users.
